This dataset provides monthly EPS-reported criminal incident count data at the neighbourhood level. Data will be updated one month following the end of a yearly quarter.

An "incident" is the set of connected events which usually constitute an occurrence report. Measuring by incidents is based on the Uniform Crime Reporting 2 (UCR2) survey standard developed by Statistics Canada so that all Canadian police jurisdictions have a comparable set of crime data.

The crime types used here are for EPS's 4 Property Crime and 4 Violent Crime Indicators only. Hence, not every type of property crime nor violent crime incident is shown here. Additionally, this excludes criminal incidents that fall under Other Criminal Code Violations, Federal Statute Violations, and Criminal Code Traffic Violations. The criminal code that is used here is based on the most serious violation of the incident. For example, if a break & enter occurred that involved an aggravated assault, only the aggravated assault would be counted.

It's important to note that incident-level data is a distinct measure for crime and will not match exactly with other EPS-reported statistics. There are two notable cases of this. The first is with EPS' Crime Map(http://crimemapping.edmontonpolice.ca/) which uses "occurrence" data. Occurrence data is more timely and immediately available, with incident-data based on occurrence data but with further revisions following UCR2 reporting rules. Secondly, EPS reporting on city-wide 4 Violent Crime Indicators is based on the number of victimizations, and since a violent criminal incident can have multiple victims, the figures reported in that manner will be higher. Counting by victimizations for violent crime is also how Statistics Canada reports crime data publicly.

Statistics Canada's Crime Severity Index of the top 20 largest Canadian Cities.

The Crime Severity Index (CSI) assesses the severity of criminality by measuring both the volume of police-reported criminal incidents and weighting for more severe crime, while factoring for the level of population. The CSI is indexed to equal 100 in Canada for the year 2006.

An "occurrence" is a set of connected criminal events which constitute an occurrence report. The occurrence counts here are distinct from 'incidents' and 'victims' as reported by Statistics Canada.

The crime types used here are for EPS's 4 Property Crime and 4 Violent Crime Indicators only. Hence, not every type of property crime or violent crime incident is shown here (e.g,. kidnapping and theft under $5,000 are excluded here). This also excludes criminal code violations that fall under Other Criminal Code Violations, Federal Statute Violations, and Criminal Code Traffic Violations.

The criminal code that is used here is based on the most serious violation of the occurrence. For example, if a break & enter occurred that involved an aggravated assault, only the aggravated assault would be counted. This follows the standard for how Statistics Canada reports on crime throughout Canada.

This dataset provides enforcement statistics for EPS's Checkstop and Target All Drunk Drivers (TADD) program.
Checkstop operations are stationary points on roadways where traffic is contacted by police to ensure drivers are sober. Checkstop includes the activities from Target All Drunk Drivers (TADD), where following the closing of a Checkstop point, officers will patrol to make contact with any vehicles that draw their attention with the primary goal of checking the driver's sobriety. Statistics here are from the combination of Checkstop and TADD activity.

Vehicle Checks (Checkstop/TADD) are the number of vehicles where drivers were personally contacted by police to check for sobriety from Checkstop and TADD operations.

Impaired Arrests (Checkstop/TADD) are the number of impaired driving arrests for driving with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or more, or there is other evidence of impairment by alcohol, driving while impaired from narcotics or prescription drugs, or when testing for alcohol or drugs is refused.

Roadside Suspensions (Checkstop/TADD) are the number of Alberta Administrative License Sanctions for operating a motor vehicle contrary to the drivers license restrictions. Statistics here exclude roadside suspensions issued as part of a criminal charge of impaired driving. In simple terms, the types of roadside suspensions in this measure arise from:

This dataset provides EPS's Crime Severity Index and Weighted Clearance Rate statistics. Figures provided here are based on in-house calculations with small measurement errors compared to what is produced by Statistics Canada.

The Crime Severity Index (CSI) assesses the severity of criminality by measuring both the volume of police-reported criminal incidents and weighting for more severe crime, while factoring for the level of population. The CSI is available for any city or region across Canada, and is indexed to equal 100 in Canada for the year 2006.

The Weighted Clearance Rate (WCR) measures the percentage of EPS-reported criminal incidents that are cleared by charge, or cleared by "other" (e.g., using the Youth Criminal Act, the accused is deceased), weighted by crime severity.

Both measures here account for all criminal code violations, which can be categorized at a high-level as: Violent Crime, Property Crime, Other Criminal Code Violations, Federal Statute Violations, and Criminal Code Traffic Violations. The counting methodology here follows that of Statistics Canada by only counting the most serious violation for a criminal incident, and counting the number of victims for violent-based offences.

This dataset provides statistics from EPS's Curb the Danger program. EPS's Curb the Danger program has been available since 2006, where the public can call 911 when they spot someone they suspect is driving impaired, and if possible report the last direction of travel of the suspect vehicle, make of vehicle, and a license plate.

Curb The Danger Calls are the number of 9-1-1 calls made by the public to EPS to report an impaired driver.

EPS Intercepts from CTD are the number of occurrences where EPS made contact with the vehicle that was reported in from Curb The Danger.

Impaired Arrests from CTD the number of impaired driving arrests arising from Intercepts from CTD where the driver has a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or more, or there is other evidence to suggest a driver is impaired by alcohol, driving while impaired from narcotics or prescription drugs, or when testing for alcohol or drugs is refused.

Roadside Suspensions from CTD are the number of roadside suspensions that arised from EPS vehicle intercepts from Curb The Danger. The figures here do not count the roadside suspensions that occur as part of an impaired driving arrest. The type of Roadside suspensions in this measure arise from:

This dataset provides the number of EPS-reported criminal and non-criminal occurrences that a violence or abuse component among intimate partners. Domestic violence may include a single act of physical or sexual force, actual or threatened, or a number of acts forming a pattern of abuse through the use of controlling behavior.

Government policy related to domestic violence has progressed a great deal over the years (see the Alberta Justice Domestic Violence Handbook, 2014). Notable advancements include the establishment of the Office For the Prevention of Domestic Violence in Alberta in 1984, Alberta Justice' introduction of Prosecutor Guidelines in 2008 and Police Guidelines in 2009 (and updated in 2013), as well as several more recent Alberta legislative Acts that serve to protect victims against domestic violence. These changes have filtered through to EPS and refined our policy & procedures for how we respond to, and better classify, track, and manage these domestic violence occurrences.
